Since ancient times, artists have transformed, reinterpreted, and reimagined folk tales and myths in a variety of forms, genres, and media. From the seemingly straightforward adaptation of a text into a film, a play, or a new literary work to the more subtle appropriation of style or meaning, one could argue that all texts are, in some way, part of a broader ensemble of already established texts and artistic forms. In the contemporary era, the cinematic adaptation of literary works stands as the most popular and widely recognized expression of this process.
